Hannah Berner Channeled Her Tennis Dreams to Become the Internet’s Favorite Comedian

Hannah Berner was already well-known for her comedy on social media, showcasing on-the-street interviews and stand-up work to her 2.9 million TikTok followers and 1 million Instagram followers — not to mention listeners of her two podcasts, “Giggly Squad,” and “Berner Phone,” which have more than 70 million combined downloads. But the attention levels that come from a Netflix special are on a different level. “It was so weird. I would look when it was charting and I was like, ‘wait, so everyone sees that? Or is it just on my account?’” Berner says about the special’s views a few weeks after it was released. “We Ride at Dawn” is the first comedy special for the 32-year-old Brooklyn native, who recorded her set at Philadelphia’s The Fillmore earlier this year. “I really put over six years into this one hour, so to be able to let it go and for people to enjoy it in their own homes has just been the best part of everything,” she says. Berner has gotten word that everyone from Brooke Shields to Rita Ora and Aly Raisman have watched and loved “We Ride at Dawn,” which touches on many sexual topics we won’t print here, as well
